DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2017.07.006
Abstract: ABSTRACT Recent animal research has shown that exposure to single episodes of intense noise causes cochlear synaptopathy without affecting hearing thresholds. It has been suggested that the same may occur in humans. If so, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cercor/bhx299
Abstract: Numerous cross-sectional and observational longitudinal studies show associations between expertise and regional brain anatomy. However, since these designs confound training with genetic predisposition, the causal role of training remains unclear. Here, we use a discordant… read more here.
